About Aberdeen House
Here at Aberdeen House, we provide residential care for older people in the heart of Oakham, Rutland. We are a care home that focuses on what matters most: making sure each person who lives with us feels genuinely at home, respected, and well looked after. We specialise in older person care and residential care, supporting people who need a helping hand with day to day life while still living as independently as they wish. Rutland is a wonderfully close knit part of the country, and we think that sense of community very much shapes how we operate. We know our residents as individuals, we know their preferences, their histories, and the small things that make their days brighter. We want to be straightforward with you. Our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection resulted in a "requires improvement" rating, and we take that seriously. We have been working through the feedback carefully and making real, practical changes to how we do things. We would rather be honest about where we have had to improve than brush over it, because the families and individuals who trust us with their care deserve that honesty. We are committed to demonstrating through our actions that those improvements are taking root. Our team in Oakham work hard to create an atmosphere that feels warm and settled rather than institutional. We pay attention to the rhythms of each person's day, to mealtimes, to social time, to the quieter moments. Families are always welcome, and we encourage open conversation about how things are going for their loved ones. If you would like to find out more about life at Aberdeen House or come and have a look around, please do get in touch. We are always happy to talk.
